The neighborhood
Sandia Knolls is a residential area in the East Mountains near Sandia Park and Cedar Crest, with homes on rolling, wooded lots. Many roads are private or unpaved, and the condition of the road often matters as much as the driveway.
What works here
- Asphalt driveways with good drainage at the house end.
- Shared road improvements — drainage and crown first, then millings, chip seal or asphalt. See shared road paving in Sandia Knolls.
- Culverts at low points where water crosses.
- Clean road connections so the driveway doesn't break up where it meets a dirt road.
